RE: Dark influence on the hearts and implanting locks regarding the Quran.

Observation 5, blindness to the family of Mohammad continued.
One of the clearest verses about the family of Mohammad in Quran is 42:23.
Whatever "Al-Qurba" means, it has been linked to being grateful for the message.
That is the good news God gives to his servants of those who believe and do good, say: no wage do I ask for it except the love in Al-Qurba and whoever do does good, we will increase him therein, verily God is forgiving thankful/grateful.
The three possible meanings of Al-Qurba is kinship, kin, or closeness. As closeness needs a phrase to emphasize closeness to what, if God for example, it would mention "ilallah", this is not the meaning and it goes against convention of the language to assume that meaning. As kinship in general cannot be something in which the entire message would be shown gratefulness to by loving, it's not the meaning either. General meaning of kin cannot be the meaning either as that is not linked to being grateful to the message. Whatever al-Qurba means here, it has to be integral part of the message, a central role, the inward point of it, the goal of it, that showing loving towards it, would be showing gratefulness to the message.
34:47 Say: whatever I have asked of you of a wage, it is for yourselves, verily my wage is with God and he is a witness upon all things.
This verse shows this in fact was not the wage of Mohammad (saw), for his wage was with Allah (awj), as Allah is a witness upon all things, God witnessing his acts was where his reward truly lied, instead of a reward from the people. The truth was he was rather asking a wage for our sake. The same Surah emphasized "O family of Dawood, do acts of thankfulness/gratefulness, and verily few of my servants are grateful/thankful".
The wage asked by Mohammad (saw) was asked on behalf of God, as God told him to ask this wage, and was a way to be grateful to him for the message. If we truly appreciate the message Mohammad (saw) came with, we will appreciate Al-Qurba and love Al-Qurba, as Al-Qurba are the central part of the message.
Now on reflection, as they have been linked to showing gratefulness to the message, they have be chosen for the religion. This cannot be but a chosen exalted family type meaning. The true family of Mohammad (saw) which like the family of Nuh (as) cannot include those who act other then righteously. And like the family of Ibrahim (as), is of the chosen ones only.
25:57 Say: No wage have I asked of you for it, except for who wants to take towards his Lord a path.
This shows Al-Qurba are a path to the whole nation, and are hence always ahead of the believers, are the path for everyone to take no matter how high they are. This shows they are the best of the nation.
Now two things to notice, in Surah 25, there was emphasis on Harun (as) being a Vizier of Musa (as). Accepting Harun (as) with Musa (as) was part of the message, and Harun (as) was chosen because he was "better in tongue/speech" and this probably referred to conveying the higher truths in which Musa (as) felt there was a knot on his tongue. Ali (as) was likewise said to the door the house of the wisdom, or the gate to the city of the knowledge, and hence his loving and following him and recognizing him, was part of the path towards God, like following Harun (as) was part of the path towards God while Musa (as) was there. In fact, those who followed Harun (as) automatically followed Musa (as) while not all those who claimed to follow Musa (as) followed Harun (as).
The second thing to notice, in Surah 34, there was emphasis on the rule of Dawood (as) and Sulaiman (as). In the same way, if the world accepts the Khalifate of Ahlulbayt (as) and comes to the last of the Imam (as), they will be ruled by the rule of justice of Dawood (as), the rule of Mohammad (saw), the rule of God.
This is a favor of God, and the place of it, emphasizes on the rule of his chosen ones.
6:90 These are they who God has guided therefore follow their guidance. Say: I do not ask you a wage for it that it be but a reminder/remembrance to the worlds.
This verse is put in place right after emphasizing on the guidance of the Prophets, then telling Mohammad (saw) to follow their guidance, then it says the wage is but a remembrance/reminder to worlds/peoples/nations. This shows in the same way Mohammad (saw) follows the light of the Prophets (as) and takes guidance by their guidance and thereby remembers the path of Praiseworthy Lord, and ascends to God, the same is true of the wage of the message, it proves a remembrance to the unseen path towards God, and reminds of the light. The context is emphasizing on the guidance of his chosen ones. It again gives credence to the al-Qurba being of the chosen exalted ones who God wants humanity and Jinn to follow their guidance, and it's a reminder and remembrance to the Alameen.
12:104 And you do not ask them a wage for it that is but a remembrance/reminder to the worlds/nations/peoples.
This verse is stated in context of the exalted chosen family of Ibrahim, particularly narrating the roles of Yaqoub and Yusuf, and the story of Yusuf. There is also a parable in the form of the shirt of Yusuf healing Yaqoubs eyes, that love of God's chosen would similarly honor us with their robes from the unseen honor and beauty of God, and heal our blindness and make us see the path. Their Imammate and Wilayah is about giving sight to the path of God and the light of God. In the same way, the wage of loving Al-Qurba is emphasized to be a remembrance/reminder, which is remembrance of the light and unseen path of God.
23:72-73Or do you ask them a wage? Then surely the wage of your Lord is better, and he is the best of those who provide sustenance. And surely you call them to a straight path.
The Surah was emphasizing on the path of believers and then reminded of how God sent Messengers and the punishment of rejecting them. It also emphasizing "Do they not recognize their Messenger so they are in denial of him".
It can be seen in the same way Nuh (as) was the way towards God, that Al-Qurba are the way towards God. The placement after emphasis to adhere to God's chosen ones again gives way to the chosen exalted kin meaning.
(38:86-88)Say: I do not ask you for it any wage - and I am not of those who affect -
That it be but a reminder/remembrance to the worlds.
And ye shall certainly the truth of it after a time.
The Surah 38 emphasizes on God's chosen ones and reminds of chosen offspring like Sulaiman (as) to Dawood (as), and Isaac (as) and Yaqoub (as) to Ibrahim (as). It also then reminds us of God telling Angels to prostrate to Adam (as) and all did it except Iblis. It also asks Iblis if he is arrogant or is he one of the exalted ones/high ones.
We then see emphasis that the wage is a remembrance to the worlds at the end of the Surah, emphasizing we will come to know of it's news and truth after a while, showing there is a unseen reality to this love, and it's a unseen path to Allah, that we will come to know of. This again, by flow, confirms it's about the chosen family of Mohammad (saw), a family of chosen exalted ones.
Or do you ask them a wage so that they are over overburdened by a debt? (52:40, 68:46)
This shows the wage has nothing to do with material wealth being given to the family of Mohammad (saw). Interesting is the Surah 52 opens by swearing by the mountain, while Harun's (as) name means exalted mountain, and Ali (as) is the Harun (as) of Mohammad (saw) by hadiths, and shares his position with Mohammad (saw) as did Harun (as) did with Musa (as) except that he is not a Prophet. Surah 68:46 begins with Noon which can be reference to light and emphasizes that his reward is never cut off, showing the wage he asks is not for himself, but on behalf of God so we be grateful to God for the message. Consequently the wage of the message is linked to the following the light of Mohammad (saw) and perfecting the Aqel with the spiritual pen of reason and light. These places again show that God wants us to remember the wage of the message, and it has central importance with the the message and Mohammad (saw).
When we see this reminder in the Quran, we see that it has a central importance. The Al-Qurba cannot be just normal people but must exalted chosen people who God has made the means toward himself and the way to remember his unseen path and light.
However, we see in real life, people forget these verses all go together, and scholars of the majority of Muslims have said it means kinship between Quraysh and Mohammad (saw).
This while some of them did consider it possibility and some did consider it to be the case (like Imam Shafi), most didn't appreciate the meaning.
What prevents people from remembering 42:23 whenever coming across other wage verses? Something is a mist!
